A tivo part; ring er frame .i4-.15 is arranged between' tile intermediate tire 5 and en oute-tire 16, the said ring or fieme consisting@ a panfp eoncentrie radialiy Spacelfgfnnlajmemiieee 14 and l5, coen Lire 5, and is provided with ings i8, shaped o t the depressions of the mie, and' engaging in he said recesses.

exiand an enter seetlon 2S. The a @entrai opening for the `ble fabric, inner section has hub and' for the housing 9. The said section has its oniir edge secured to the 'ouer section' of the hood orv silieid and itsl the sleeve 1Q of the adjacent housing pate 9, the said sleeve 10 being annulaiy greoved .as shown at 29 and a cord or Wire 27 enciroies thev sleeve for securing che Said edge in the groove. 'fie o edge is secured on' n, groove iange Y l. s, A neA innef edge of inner edge is secured on of the ring 38 with a Valve or closure 34; outside the shield,

for permitting the tire to be inflated through lfthe tube. The outer tire 16 may be of any fusua'l or preferred construction, though it is rpreferably resilient.

ln ease of accidental deliation of the pneumatic tire, the ring shown in Fig. 4 may be used. as shown in Fig. 3, to bridge the gap left by the deflation of the said tire. The ring comprises a body 3S, having at its outer edge an annular lat-eral flange 39. The ring is arranged outside of the portion Q0 of the housing plate, with the. flange 39 seating outside of the web 2l. Two rings may' be used if desired.

. t Will be noticed that the ring has its inner edge serrated as sriown at i0 and the said lserrated edge is adapted to lit the serrated edge il of the housing plate 9: to tit serrated edge i of the housing' plate 9. This prevents any crawling of the outer tire. The ringg 38-39 'is secured to the housing plate 19-220 by means of screws 42, the said screws being passed through the flange 38 housing plate 20. The Weight is not supported by the screws 42, but by pressure of' portion 39 on portion 2l, and serrated edge 40 upon serrated edge 4l.

l. A resilient wheel comprising a central Wheel-like part having an @longs-.ted hub that is screW-tln'eaded and a rini connected With the hub, an intermediate pneumatic tire supported upon the said rim, an outer tread tire, an annular :traine between the two tires and connecting them, and a protecting housf ing for the intermediate pneumatic tire formed of side plates having hub sect-ions screwed upon the hub of the central part of the Wheel, and `other side plates secured to 39 and engaged with thethe annular `frame between the tires',y and shaped to surround the intermediate tirel 'but not to interfere With the free movements thereof, the two sets of Vsidey plates having overlapping engagement with each other and being freeto more With reference to each other.

2. A wheel comprising a central hub part, anlouter tire, arr intermediate annular frame, a rigid circular support secured to the hub part ofthe Wheel and having an exposed sei'- rated peripheral edge, and a removable annular'plate adapted to be Secured rigidly to the said intermediate frame, and having a serrated edge adapted to engage with the serrated ed e of the said rigid support and to serve to hold in Working position the in-V tei-mediate frame and outer tire and also to unite the said frame With the hub whereby `torque movements are communicated troni one ot these to the other.

3. A resilient wheel comprising a central Wheel-like part, an intermediate pneumatic tire secured to the rim thereof, an outer tire, an annular.' frame between the tires, a housing inclosing the pneumatic tire, and a dust' cover for the outer face of the Wheel consisting .of an outwardly dished plate secured at its edges to the said annular'frame bretween .the tires.

4:. A resilient Wheel comprising a central Wheel-like part, an intermediate pneumatic tire secured to the rim thereo. an outer tire, an annular frame between the tires, a housing inc-losing the pneumatic tire, a dust cover for the outer face of the Wheel consisting of an outwardly dished plate secured at its edges to the said annularvframe between tile tires, and another dust cover for the infer tace of the Wheel consisting oi a rigidut'er section secured to the said annular traine and an inner section of flexible material between the said rigidouter section and the hub of the central wheeldike part.
